[Ham-Computers] Windows 7 - ASUS EEe Netbook

[kd4e]

Hey Gene,

	Maybe this will finally get you to upgrade to Linux?

	There is a version of the free, very small, and very
efficient Puppy Linux that has been carefully optimized for 
the Asus Eee Netbook - and a solid online Forum to support
it.

	Because so many people have been trained to find the
various MS versions of windows "familiar" a Puppy desktop
"GUI" may be selected that looks like what you are familiar
with.

	It comes with everything you are used to using and
it works vastly better on the little Netbook than the
resource-wasting MS equivalent.

	I am also pondering a Netbook.  I would want both
a Wifi card and a Cell-modem card so it always has access
no matter where I am ... might even get a mobile Cell 
repeater to be sure that signal stays up when out on the
fringes ... not too expensive ... saving pennies, nickels,
dimes, and quarters!

	I can send you the Puppy Asus Eee info if you like.
